It is recommended to pay attention to maintaining the cleanliness of the external genitalia on a daily basis. Simply rinse the external genitalia with clean water each night to keep them dry and clean. The clean water should be room temperature, boiled water that has cooled down. The method should be rinsing, not soaking, not douching, and certainly not sitz baths. The area should be the external genitalia, including the labia majora and minora, as well as the grooves between them, the mons pubis, and the perianal area. Afterward, ensure they are kept dry before putting on underwear or using sanitary pads. It is essential to wash close-fitting clothing separately to avoid cross-contamination, which can lead to inadequate cleaning. Additionally, do not hang underwear and pants in enclosed, damp spaces like bathrooms; instead, hang them in open, well-ventilated areas. Avoid frequent use of sanitary pads and tampons; choose appropriate types of sanitary pads and underwear materials. During menstruation, pay attention to proper cleaning. These habits need to be changed to create a clean and stable perineal environment.
